I will not lie --- things have been very dark for me lately. Very. My Christmas tree has been up for a week, a week and a half, with the lights and ornaments in boxes on the floor. I just couldn't do it.
Today, I forced myself to put them on. No ornaments yet, but the Army /Navy game is tomorrow, and practically every year, I decorate my tree while watching it. So that helped some.
I'm not sure why I'm even putting up a tree. Pretty sure we'll go to Hannah's Christmas Day, so no one's around to look at anything. Habit, I suppose.
Take a look at his guy:
A cute little sailboat! It's sort of an odd thing in the midst of everything else, but it's sweet, don't you think? The pattern has a face on the hull, which I thought made it look creepy/silly, so I made an editorial/designer/whatever decision and left it off.

Every time I see your sweet little stitching I tell myself to go look for the project I have stashed somewhere that's similar and I always forget. Maybe today.
I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with the season. You are not alone. I always get a wicked case of PTSD right about now seeing how my mother, dad and grandmother all decided to leave this earth at this time of year. I can keep up the holly jolly bit for only so long before I crack and right now the cracks are starting to show.
I'm sorry things have been rough. I have a huge support system and still feel so alone, I'm crying inside all the time, too.
